The Fountain of Living Waters, Mike Lefler The Fountain of Living Waters

Mike Lefler
Bronze, granite, sandstone, 2002


This working fountain presents the tree of life as a fountain of living water and invites all to drink and never thirst again. This work contains symbolic representations of Christ, the Godhead, man's relationship to the Godhead, and the fruit of the Tree of Life. The themes depicted in the fountain were inspired by this scripture: "And it came to pass that I beheld that the rod of iron, which my father had seen, was the word of God, which led to the fountain of living waters, or to the tree of life; which waters are a representation of the love of God; and I also beheld that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God" (1 Nephi 11:25).
